Fremantle Colonial Cottages

Fremantle


Located on a grassy terrace with views of Fremantle, these heritage cottages were originally occupied by wardens at the Fremantle women's prison (now the YHA hostel). With bedrooms and bunks, each of the three cottages can accommodate up to six people, and fully equipped kitchens make them a good choice for self-caterers. Wooden floors also make them good for families.
